Hey Yall I think we have at least two seperate Jonathan Ellis Wood here. I am trying to retrieve my lost info and am going through the book I have also. The Crabtree family seems to be linked to more than my Wood family, I find the name Crabtree used as a middle name for one of the McFarland lines also. I have made no contections to the Crabtree family except Jemima who was married to John F. Helm. John was the son of Adam Helm and Susannah Hackler. They settled in Fentress/Overton County area after their two eldest sons, John F. and George were born in Fredrick County, Virginia. Ater Adam died in 1826 in Fentress County Susannah moved to Lafayette County, WI (1850) where some of her married children had settled. As far as the Lincoln connection, this is the first I have heard that. Of course there were plenty of Helm families as Adam had 6 brothers and 3 sisters. His father George (II) is the only son that I know of born to George I and Dorothea. He immigrated to Virginia in 1765 from Airlenbach, Odenwald Forrest, Prussia/Germany. As soon as I get things back in order I will send a post out on "my" Jonathan Ellis Wood and Jane Williams. I think I mentioned already that he was killed by his neighbor near Liberty in Casey County. There may be some court records pertaining to that.

Milly Thank you, I wondered about who she might belong to, so that makes her in my line, I don't know anything about her except what has been sent in here to the list, but maybe I can find something now. I have always known that old Samuel had to have more than one daughter. Wilma

Wilma On ancestry someone has JEMIMA CRABTREE as the daughter of SAMUEL CRABTREE and SARAH MARKUM born 1803 Wayne KY died 9-27-1863 WI Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

May I ask a question Susie? Do you know who the parents of the Crabtree was? Wilma Gibson Andrew Jackson Wood b. September 21, 1839 Fentress Co., TN d. August 27, 1890 Lafayette Co., Wisconsin. Married Leah Helm (daughter of John F. Helm and Jemima Crabtree, John was Elizabeth's brother).

> In regards to your 3rd branch. Are there 2 Jonathan > Ellis Wood born in 1827? > I don't know. The Jonathan Wood I am interested in was married to Matilda Woolsey and they separated or divorced, I believe. There is an underlying reason for my inquiring about the relationship of these 4 Wood families which I didn't go into initially, because it can get too confusing. My grandfather, Aaron Solomon, was orphaned and/or abandoned at some point from 1858 to 1862 - just a guess on the latter date (even though he is listed with his father and other family members on the 1860 Wayne County census - something I refuse to accept). He and 3 of his siblings lived in various Wood homes at various times. He and his brother, Jeremiah, lived with Robert White Wood for some years and were there on the 1870 census in Clinton County. His sister, Martha, is with the William Wood family on the 1860 census in Clinton County. Lewis Solomon is with Matilda Woolsey Wood on the 1870 census in Fentress County, and he is with Jesse Wood out of Branch #2 on the 1880 census in KY. Their mother was Nancy Woolsey. I initially thought that the reason behind these children being with various Wood families was that Nancy Woolsey's sister, Elizabeth, married Matthew Wood. However, I have not as yet been able to make a connection between the Matthew Wood or Jonathan Wood families to the Woods in Clinton County, KY. I now believe that at least part of the reason Lewis was with Matilda Wood in 1870 is the Woolsey connection, not necessarily a Wood connection, as Matilda was the sister of Nancy Woolsey Solomon. See what I mean about confusing?

Does anyone happen to have a marriage date for Casper Curtis Choate and Elma Jean Cooper? I think they were married around 1945 your help would be appreciated! I think they were married in Georgia, but they were from Fentress County, Tn. Thanks

Here are some of the Lindsey dates. Laban--July 4, 1756 Caleb--April 27, 1763 Sarah--February 28, 1761 Fanny--1765 Rebecca--1755 is what I have I cannot remember how I got these, but I believe I was tracking backwards with information from Lindsey researchers. I will try to get more organized so that I can document the information. I'll be away for several weeks, though. Sarah

Have you connected the George Finley back to the big Finley clan in Augusta Co, VA? ( I know that some of those VA Finley people ended up in TN too.) I will try to work in the NC direction now, too. I'm sorry that I had forgotten your earlier advice. I just gave up on the Finley(Findley) end since it seemed impossible for me to sort through. I have not been able to find the Joseph Lindsey family before they got to NC either. I will need to visit some VA genealogical collections, I suspect.

Hi JW, I do not have the birth years for the Lindsey children, don't know if Sarah might have them. Pat

Brenda, I didn't know you were related to the Marion HInds family. Marion is my great-uncle, the brother of my paternal gmother. I want to get more clarity on this family too. I have talked to a niece of Marion's who is still living (age 77) and who has given me quite a bit of family information in the past. I asked her if she knows what Sadie's last name was, and who her mother was. This is what she remembered. Sadie's mother, Clementine, was a Creselious. She was married first to a Petty and had Sadie and at least one other child, whose name my cousin couldn't remember. Then she married Dave Penticuff and they had these children: Fate, Maggie (who married Otis Hayes), Pearl, Delavine (who married Ezra Hinds), Vera and Etter (who married Wheeler Pritchett). She thought Dave had been married before also and had some kids. I hope this info sheds some more light on the subject but realize the names don't match 100% with those in the 1900 Census.

Crossville Chronicle Published July 4, 2006 Karon J. Woody Feb. 15, 1951 - June 30, 2006 Karon Jane (Buck) Woody, 55, of Jamestown, passed away June 30, 2006. Funeral services were conducted July 3 from the chapel of Bilbrey Funeral Home, with Bro. Donald Wattenbarger officiating. Interment was in Woody Cemetery. Mrs. Woody was born Feb. 15, 1951, in Crossville, the daughter of Ezra Buck and Bertha (Wright) Woody. She worked at Crossville Rubber Plant and was a member of Lawrence Chapel Church of God of Prophecy. Survivors include her son and daughter-in-law, Gary and Nicole Woody of Crossville; sisters, Eula Norris and Glenda Cooper of Crossville; brothers, Robbie, Jerry and Bill Buck, all of Crossville, J.C. Buck of Clarkrange and Kenneth Buck of Munci, IN. Bilbrey Funeral Home, Inc. was in charge of the arrangements.

A Fentress County marriage record shows that James Marion (Marion) Hinds (b. April 06, 1881, d. February 18, 1958, buried at Rinnie Cemetery, Cumberland County, TN) married a Sadie "Petty" on October 27, 1905 (b. December 22, 1886, d. December 22, 1956, buried at Rinnie Cemetery). I believe her surname is actually "Penticuff". I know that sometimes people with the Penticuff or Pennycuff name have been referred to as "Penty" or "Penny" -- even some census records show this. Anyway, I believe that Sadie Estella is the daughter of David A. Penticuff and Louise Clementine (Clementine) Creselious (both buried at Fairview Cemetery), but am unsure about this. See the following census record: The 1900 Census: Fentress County, TN: ED# 16, District 7, Page 5B, Household 93 (June 8, 1900) - PENNYCUFF, David, head, May 1854, age 46, TN,TN,TN; married 19 years - Louisa C., wife, June 1863, age 36, TN,TN,TN; married 19 years; 6 children, 6 living - Eli B., son, Dec. 1883, age 16, TN,TN,TN - Sousan, daughter, Feb. 1884, age 16, TN,TN,TN - Martha J.C., daughter, May 1885, age 16, TN,TN,TN - Sada E., daughter, Dec. 1886, age 13, TN,TN,TN - Perlley L., daughter, Oct. 1890, age 9, TN,TN,TN - Jefferson L., son, Aug 1893, age 6, TN,TN,TN - Maggie R., daughter, July 1897, age 2, TN,TN,TN Note, that it is "odd" that there are 7 children in the household, but the census showed that Clementine had 6 children, with 6 living, and they were married 19 years. Also notice the birthdates of Eli (12/1883) and Sousan (2/1884), and how close they are together. Eli's tombstone does show 12/16/1883 as his birth. I have also seen somewhere that David and Clementine were married on November 22, 1889. The date (12/1886) of Sade E. on the 1900 census matches the 12/22/1886, on the tombstone of Sadie Estella Petty (or Penticuff) Hinds. Is it a possiblity that Sadie's mother was married to a Petty before she married David Penticuff? And was David Penticuff married before as well? If anyone knows much about this family, I'd like to make sure I have the correct parents listed for Sadie Estella. I am related to her husband, James Marion (Marion) Hinds, through his mother, Frances Elizabeth Fite. Thanks, Brenda (P.S. -- Geri, I believe Dina V. Matthews was the daughter of Dillard Thomas MATTHEWS (not Hinds) and Ova Beaty -- I'm thinking this was probably just a typing error on your part) ----------------------------------------------- In a message dated 7/4/2006 9:00:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, TNFENTRE-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 20:54:45 -0400 From: "Gerri Goodwin" <gerrigoodwin@cox.net> To: _TNFENTRE-L@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:TNFENTRE-L@rootsweb.com) Subject: obituary for lester hinds Lester's parents were Dina V.

Sarah, I have been unable to put James with Davy's wife. From what I understand and this is reading Davy's biography etc. his wife's father lived in Watauga Co. and owned a tavern. There were several children but they were not named. Guess it would not be impossible for them to have been siblings, but with our James it is rumored that he was half Cherokee Indian, and this is not mentioned with Davy's wife. However Davy did have a place close to Fentress, this could be because he was related to Finley's but he was also related to the Beaty's. Wilma says our James was a Capt., but have been unable to find him in War of 1812 in TN did find a Capt. James Finley in NC for War of 1812 and the date was 1813. The only thing I have seen is Sevier Cert. for Peter. (In Hogue's Book) As you can tell I do not have much more information than you do, but if we combine what we have maybe we will be lucky in finding our James for sure. Also think we should pursue what you are working on with Augusta Co. just let me know what to look for. Pat

Sarah, Nancy did get a pension on her son James (I think), he died while serving in Civil War but he died in Fentress Co. I have copies of the papers. This is something else I might need to send to you. Pat
